It's card #138, an Uncommon illustrated by Akira Komayama, and if you're digging into Omanyte value right now, you're looking at a card that sits in an interesting spot: affordable enough to grab raw, but with a real gap opening up once it hits gem mint.

Omanyte — collector's take
Is Omanyte worth grading?
So is Omanyte worth grading? Here's the honest math: a raw copy runs $57, a Grade 9 sits at $174, and a PSA 10 jumps all the way to $964, which works out to about 16.9 times the raw price. That's a serious multiplier, no question. But gem mint isn't a given. Out of the 212 copies graded so far, only 69 have come back a PSA 10, so more than two thirds of submissions land lower. Grading costs money and time, and there's no refund if your corner has a soft ding or the centering is off by a hair. If you've got a copy that looks sharp in hand, edges clean, no whitening, it's worth considering. If you're on the fence, remember you're paying to find out, not paying for a guaranteed result.
How rare is it?
With only 212 graded copies on record, Omanyte isn't a card you'll find everywhere in high grade, and the PSA 10 population of 69 makes gem mint copies genuinely scarce within that already small pool. That kind of population tells you two things: not many people have bothered to grade this card yet, and pulling a truly flawless copy isn't easy even when they do. It's part of why the PSA 10 price sits so far above the raw and Grade 9 figures, scarcity at the top end tends to do that.
Where to pull it
We've tracked 124 recorded pulls of Omanyte across collector-crypt, courtyard, tilt-rips, and mnstr, so this isn't a card that's impossible to find in packs, it does show up. It's turned up in Water Pack, Legendary Pokemon Gacha Pack, Elite Pokemon Gacha Pack, Wildcard Basic Pack, and Starter Pokemon Gacha Pack, with the biggest recorded pull on record valued at $220. That spread across five different pack types tells you Omanyte isn't tied to one specific product, which is useful if you're chasing it. Worth saying plainly though: opening packs is a gamble, and most rips don't come close to what you paid in. PackSpy tracks these pulls live across sites because no price guide does, so if you want a real sense of where and how often a card actually surfaces, this is the closest thing to hard data you'll find.

Is Omanyte worth grading?
It can be, since a PSA 10 sells for about 16.9 times the raw price. But only 69 out of 212 graded copies have hit that top grade, so it's not a sure thing, weigh the grading cost against the real chance your copy comes back lower.
